Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The two outlets spell the address differently as Paddayoor House, Padnoor Post and Paddayur House, Padnur Post; the report uses the Daijiworld spelling.
The report records Rs 190,000 as the police estimate for the ganja alone; the Rs 3.94 lakh total also includes the seized phone and car, which are described in the text and counted as one seized vehicle.
No court outcome beyond registration of Crime No. 137/2026 and continuing investigation was reported.
The Times of India gives the combined value of the contraband and property as Rs 3.9 lakh, while the earlier reports state Rs 3.94 lakh; the report keeps the itemised Rs 1.9 lakh for the ganja, Rs 4,000 for the phone and Rs 2 lakh for the car.
The Times of India spells the address as Padnoor Post, Puttur taluk without the house name the other outlets give, so the spelling of the house name is still unresolved.
Newspoint writes the address as Paddayur House in Padnoor, Puttur taluk, while the report uses the Daijiworld spelling Paddayoor House, Padnoor Post; the house-name spelling remains unresolved.
